Regeneration focuses on troubled soldiers ’ mental states during WW1. The Craiglockhart setting allows Barker to explore the psychological effects of warfare on men who went to fight and also their feelings about the war and the military ’s involvement in it. While the focus of the novel is firmly on the male perspective (indeed Barker claimed she had partly chosen this novel to prove she could ’do men as well as women ’)‚ there is a small but important female presence. When WW1 began in 1914

utilitarianism. Utilitarianism attempts to distinguish between right and wrong by measuring a decision based on its calculated worth.
